Thanks. I will try it out. I have since changed my research question to focus on most recent surveys and extracted the single-survey geography variables. Do I just substitute these for the integrated version in the STATA code below?

Secondly, I asked the question about "Region" because I was going to use use it to create unique stratum codes (egen stratum=group(survey v024 v0025)) for pooled data across countries/years using the original DHS data, consistent with advice given by Dr. Pullum and others on this board.

But now that I am using the IPUMS data (which has its own stratum/IPU customized variables), do I still need to go through this process if I don't need the "region" variables? Wouldn't I ust svyset my data using the following:

svyset [pw=perweight], psu(idhspsu) strata(idhsstrata)., without harmonizing region codes/values?

thanks - Yawo
